Those Terrible Twos

I love my kids. I wouldn't trade them for anything. That being said, my little guy turned two in May and it seems like someone flicked a switch in him. He's just terrible. If we're out somewhere and he's crying, people will ask what's wrong. I simply tell them "He's 2." Here are my top ten reasons I hate the Terrible Twos:

Temper tantrums occur anywhere and everywhere

Crying for no apparent reason, at least not to me

Trying to dress/undress the child has become an Olympic sport

Changing a diaper is impossible with an uncooperative participant

The word "no" seems to be used whether the child means it or not

Indecisiveness - first he wants this then when you give it to him, he doesn't

Finding healthy foods that he'll eat at meal/snack time is a chore

Chasing him around stores is just not fun

Trying to ignore the crying/whining/yelling highlights my lack of patience
